NEW YORK, Nov. a-The Democratic State

last year. The vote was comparatively light in

whole State is less than in this city last year.

The Republicans explain their local defeat by

Democrats have gone back to their party.
The interest shown by the public in the cleo

wherever any information to the result could
be cleaned. great crowds gathered and cheered
as the news that pleased them came in. Madi-

An engineer of the Montana Central.

An engineer of the Montana Central. in
locating the line for that railway within
the city limits of Helena, had to parallel
the line of the Northern Pacific for some
distance. Supposing that the right of
way for the latter road only extended 100
feet each side of the track he located the
line of the Montana Central $50 feet from
the Northern Pacific track. Several
thousand feet had been graded when it
was discovered that the work had been
wasted on Northern Pacific ground, this
company's right of way extending 200
feet on either side of its track. Work
was suspended and new line located by
the Montana Central The Northern Pa
citic however profited by the mistake, as
the grading was work which it had in con-
temptation and now has laid track
thereon.

OF confidence, that he was approached on
Thursday by two unknown men, who
asked him if lie would unite Miss Van
Zandt and August Spies in holy wedlock
if they could arrange to have the two
brought together. One of them told him
that an arrangement had been made with
Sheriff Matson by which Miss Van Zandt
was to be allowed an audience with Spies.
This is true. And they wanted 10 have
some clergyman at hand who would unite
them legally in flash. The speaker in
formed the minister that Spies would ask
him for spiritual consolation, as blind,
and that he-the minister-would thus
have no trouble about getting In. The
only question was as to whether the min
lister would carry out the programme. He
declined, but before doing SO he asked
what the object was, and one of the men
said that if ''she' could marry Spies leg
ally it would give her possession of the
body after death, and the lady wanted to
cremate it and place the ashes in an urn
in her room. II couldn't help admiring
the woman,' said the preacher. If her

Grazing Leases of the Crow Reservation

Shortly after the breaking out of the
trouble at the Crow agency in Montana, a
dispatch from Washington appeared in
the Pioneer Press giving the details of ef-
forts made last year to lease the grazing
lands of the Grow reservation to stock
raisers and of instructions sent Agent Will
Hanson last spring to advertise for bids
from stock grazers for the grazing, which

as it was intimaed therein that monopoly

who at present hold them might be in

Postal TelegraDhy.

Washington special: Of he five bills
to establish postal telegraph, introduced
in the senate last congress, three were
from western senators, VIZ: Jones OF Ar
kansas, Cullom of Illinois and Wilson Of
Iowa. Senator Edmunds of Vermont and
Dawes of Massachusetts also introduced
bills. In the house SIX bills were intro
duced by Messrs. Rogers of Arkansas,
Bingham of Philadelphia, who has been
prominent member of the house commit
tee on post roads for a long time, Weaver
of Iowa, McComas of Maryland, Anderson
of Kansas and Ranney of Massachusetts,
With the exception of Ranney, all the
senators and representative are members
of the coming congress. 1t is understood
that these gentlemen, who have been zeal
Gus advocates of government system of
telegraphy for many years, will renew
their labors next winter in a methodical
manner. Senator Cullom gives his opin-
ion that Senator Edmunds will be their
leader in the senate, and probably Con-
gresham Rogers of Arkansas and Bing-
ham will be the leaders in the house on
democratic and republican sides respect
ively 1t will be recalled that Senator
Edmunds gave the subject his earnest
support during the forty eighth congress.
The basis of the bill agreed upon by the
senate postoffice committee of the forty
ninth congress was the one introduced by
Senator Edmunds. The first eleven Sec
tons were the same as those agreed upon
in the previous congress when the postof
fee committee unanimously reported the
bill and said it had endeavored to do
its duty with care and frmness, and had
arrived unanimously at the conclusion that
the time had come for reducing rates of
telegraphing and making them uniform
and to the extent of the plan contained in
the bill as introduced.

Sparks No More.

Secretary Lamar and Commissioner
Sparks have had disagreement which
resulted during the past week in the res
ignation of the latter. Sparks had been
disregarding the opinions and orders of
Lamar. the last instance of this kind be-
ing to declare large amount of the land
grant of the Chicago, ST. Paul, Minneap-
oils & Omaha road forfeited In doing
this-whether right or wrong-Sparks
disregarded prescribed instructions from
his senior. Lamar consequently issued a
letter in which he asserted that he would
submit no longer to the dlctatlon of his
subordinate and that either he Or Sparks
must CO. To bring about this end he
threatened to submit the matter to the
president. On receipt of the secretary's
letter Sparks at once indited letter of
resignation to the president and the same
was gracefully accepted by the chief
magistrate. The resignation Of Sparks
and the termination of the rigid land pol
icy he enforced during his reign as com
missioner were hailed with rejoicing
alike by both the people and press of the
country, regardless of political affiliation.
Few of the democratic organs even give
him the credit of having labored earnest
ly and honorably for what he himself be-
lieved to be only in the interest of public
good. However it is to be hoped that the
successor to this position, when appointed,
will adopt more liberal policy and con-
duct the Office of general land commits
sioner more in accord with popular de-
mand than was the despotic rule institut-
ed by the retiring commissioner. Deputy
Commissioner Stockslager is being strong

involved in settlement of the existing
troubles, formulating to great extent the
plans which Gen. Ruger afterward carried
out in suppressing the revolt, but the
grazing matter was otherwise investigated.
The report of a special agent of the In
dian bureau was received at the interior
department few days ago, IN which the
whole grazing matter was considered.
The agent states that Agent Williamson
should have carried out the order of the
secretary mace last spring directing him
to advertise the grazing lands on the Crow
reservation to be let to the highest bidder,
and that great benefits would have ac-
crued to the Indians had this course been
pursued. Had this been done as late
as July last, the cattle at present on the
reserve could not have been gotten off,
and the lot belonging to the successful
bidder taken on or before September
closed. At this late date, the agent says
great hardships would be wrought by
compelling the occupants of the land to
take their cattle off this winter He there
fore recommends that they be allowed to
remain, and that early next spring bid
ders be advertised for He also recon-
mends that not less than so cents per
head, payable in advance, be cxacted
from cattle owners who want the grazing.
He suggests that the present occupants
will probably be the highest bidders.
These parties offered last year $4,000
for the grazing, while Blake & Wilson of
Montana offered $4,000 for it two years
ago. The department is not disposed to
condemn Agent Williamson for failure to
carry out the directions, inasmuch as he
replied to the order with certain existing
objections, to which objections the de-
partment never gave answer, thus giving
the agent to believe that they were ac-
cepted as satisfactory

of which there was about $15O,O00. Jas.
White, superintendent of the works, testi-
fed that the president of the company
gave him $4,000 in the company's stock,
for which he set fire to the works to get
the insurance.

The Indians Dying Out.

The report of the commissioner for
last year shows that there has been a
decrease Of nearly five thousand. For
instance, the total number of Indians
according to the commissioners report
in 1884 was 264, 1859 and in 'S5 there were
259,483. If there could be an actual
count of the Indians the number would
be much less. The Cheyenne and Ara
pahoe Indians were recently counted
and it was found that their number was
two thousand less than the estimate
made by lodges. The Indians are sup
erstitious about being counted, and be-
sides they make more rations when a
family of three gets supplies for fam
lily of five. An attempt to force an ac-
tual census would probably result in
war, and as the same result is being
gradually attained the authorities have
never tried to compel the taking of the
census. There are the Sioux Indians,
for example. They have never been
counted, and it is probable that if an
actual count was made their latest num-
bers, as now reported, would be reduc-
ed some two thousand. The Indians,
however, are dying out very rapidly,
and as the tribes grow fewer in num-
Der the individuals become weather.,
and in the course of a few years the
millionaires of the country will be
found among these Indian tribes. They
now control large quantities of land,
which is becoming more valuable each
year, and have besides trust funds in
the treasury amounting altogether to
over S1,OOO,OOO In addition, the gov
ernment, as shown by the Holman re-
port, appropriates large amounts for
their support yearly and provides
schools for their children. The Indians
are being very well treated just now.
